This article shows the well-known way to manually copy text from a Command window.
I'm looking for a way to do this programmatically. How could the cmd script that is running select all the text in its output window, and write it to a file?
I've found tools to do a screen capture into a file, but that may miss output if it has scrolled out of view? I'm looking for a way to capture an unattended cmd script's output (without modifying the whole script to redirect every line to a file).
Possibly this could be done with the windows API by finding the cmd window, sending CTRL-A and CTRL-C keycodes, and then write the clipboard text to a file. A possible approach for clip2txt is presented in this post.
Is there any other approach that should be considered?
